-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 When I'm using streamdvd with dvdauthor on a small video dvd or one that can be safely shrunk, I don't have any problems. But, when I try to split a large one by selecting certain sequential chapters, I run into problems. Last night I ripped the 1st 15 chapters of a video dvd no problem. Audio was fine, etc. I also ripped the entire dvd with dvdbackup, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the dvd itself. Later I tried to rip the 2nd half, same as before, with dvdauthor & streamdvd, chapters 16-29 & that's when the trouble started. I used script & a high debug level to try to capture as much info as possible. It's directly below here. Also, some errors from /var/log/messages to show what was going on underneath. Outside of this splitting a dvd problem, the only other problem I had was with streamanalyze seg faulting now & then, but that probably had to do with my typing in the wrong parameters. Don't know at this point. Most of the time, it works okay along with lsdvd. I read everything I could find before asking this question & googled around quite a bit. Not a complaint, but some of the documentation is scant on such things as streamdvd. I also tried contacting the port maintainer before asking, but I imagine he's busy enough already. Also tried another method for ripping from:
http://www.ericdugas.com/howtos/ripDVDWithMplayer/ripDVDWithMplayer.php but ran into problems with mp2enc on that one. Thanks for any help I can get on this. And, if anyone knows of a simpler workable way to split a large dvd, please let me know.
